Inspiration

Michele looks to Zaha Hadid, the "Queen of Curves" and pioneer of deconstructivist architecture. Dynamic shapes formed by deconstructed and reassembled architectural lines become key elements throughout the collection. Each piece, features almost-abstract shapes with fragmented or rotating seams that echo Hadid's iconic architectural textures. Technical, comfortable fabrics with subtle 3D effects come in colors reminiscent of the built world - concrete, asphalt, and sand tones.
